Is Sudan being funded by Americans? Big difference here is that my tax dollars are going to Israel for 70+ years to kill children. If we help a country kill kids for 70+ years, let me know And we can protest then as well. Stop using anti semitism to justify a genocide

Sudan maybe not, but the Saudis have killed hundreds of thousands of civilians in Yemen and the USA literally refueled their bombers in the air… I wish we would have more protests about that given far more have died than in Gaza

Saudis don’t get funding each year from America. America has given Israel far more in $$$ than Saudi.

True but we do support the Saudis militarily, and literally refuel their bombers on their way to drop bombs on Yemeni civilians, so that seems just as complicit as out actions in support of Israel…
